Abstract: Cerebral arterial gas embolism is a potentially life-threatening event. Intraarterial air can occlude blood flow directly or cause thrombosis. Sclerotherapy is an extremely rare cause of cerebral arterial gas embolism. Case-report A 38-year-old female...

Simultaneous coronary and cerebral air embolism after CT-guided core needle biopsy of the lung.
Abstract: An air embolism in the arterial system is a rare but serious sequela of lung biopsy. We describe the case of a patient who presented with acute cardiac and cerebral air embolism, including simultaneous acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, atrial...
[Influence of hyperbaric oxygen treatment on neural plasticity in experimental rats].
Abstract: To explore the influence of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment on neural plasticity and it's mechanism in experimental rats with cerebral ischemia. Ninety-healthy male adult Sprague-Dawley rats (3 to approximately 4 month old) were randomly divided into a...
Hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning improves myocardial function, reduces length of intensive care stay, and limits complications post coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
Abstract: The objective of this study was to determine whether preconditioning coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with HBO(2) prior to first-time elective on-pump cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) leads to improved myocardial...
Intra-arterial air thrombogenesis after cerebral air embolism complicating lower extremity sclerotherapy.
Abstract: Cerebral arterial gas embolism is a potentially life-threatening event. Intraarterial air can occlude blood flow directly or cause thrombosis. Sclerotherapy is an extremely rare cause of cerebral arterial gas embolism. Case-report. A 38-year-old female...
Rationale of hyperbaric oxygenation in cerebral vascular insult.
Abstract: Cerebrovascular diseases and especially ischemic stroke are a leading cause of death. They occur mostly due to an insufficient oxygen (O2) supply to the central neural tissue as a result of thromboembolic events and/or obstructive vessel disease. The primary...
[Effect of hyperbaric oxygen treatment on mitochondrial free radicals after transient focal cerebral ischemia in rats].
Abstract: To investigate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen(HBO)therapy on mitochondrial free radicals after transient focal cerebral ischemia in rats. The male SD rats were randomly assigned into two groups, control and HBO groups. All animals were subjected to 90 min...
Hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning reduces ischemia-reperfusion injury by inhibition of apoptosis via mitochondrial pathway in rat brain.
Abstract: This study examined the hypothesis that apoptotic inhibition via mitochondrial pathway was involved in hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning (HBO-PC)-induced neuroprotection on ischemia-reperfusion injury in rat brain. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (250 approximately...
Normalization of brain tissue lactate after hyperbaric oxygen therapy in a progressive stroke patient.
Abstract: Lee, Wittsack, Christaras, Miese, Siebler, , , , (2008). Normalization of brain tissue lactate after hyperbaric oxygen therapy in a progressive stroke patient. Cerebrovascular diseases (Basel, Switzerland), 2008...
